a couple things to share

I wanted to share a couple images from this past weekend. Saturday, I met with the Coe family and got this shot of the 6 kids/grand kids in the family. Aren't they adorable? I most certainly think so! (More to come on them later) I loved all of the outfit colors in this shot, and the kids all had a personality of their own!

On Sunday, the colors outside were just breathtaking and the sun was enormous! This is the farm ground next to our home which my brother, Brandon, was drilling beans in.

Happy Monday everyone!

I met with the Boreen family this past weekend and wanted to share this shot I took of their adorable daughter, Morgan. If you notice, she is also in the header image of this blog a year younger! More to come soon!

five generations

Jackie (top left) contacted me to take a family shot of the five generations existing in her family. I always think this is sooo neat when families capture this special time in life.

Below is an image of all the beautiful ladies.

bentlee :: ohio newborn photography

Recently I got together with Kylee & Luke at their home to take some shots of their new little joy, Bentlee. Bentlee was a little angel the whole entire time, and would not go to sleep for anything! He obviously didn't want to miss out on the action. It was so hard for me to choose which shots I wanted to put on the blog, so needless to say this post is somewhat larger than most. I loved so many of them! I also took some family shots, and in these images you can see just how much these proud parents are in love with their little guy.

Please enjoy "some" of my favorite images from the shoot.

Ky, you are so pretty!

Thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of this new beginning of your life! I wish you the best with your new little bundle of love!

teaser of baby bentlee

I wanted to post a little teaser from Bentlee's newborn session, which I shot this past weekend. I literally had to "eenie, meenie, miny, moe" between the images because I could not pick a favorite. Stay tuned for a full blog post of this little bitty handsome man!

raegan :: ohio newborn photography

I recently took images of this little miracle, Raegan, who is the daughter of Jake and Ashley. This little girl is creeping up on 3 weeks of age and absolutely melts your heart! Some of the images were taken in Raegan's nursery, which was full of all things pink, and the rest of them in other parts of their home. I loved capturing images for this new little family, which they can treasure for years to come. Thank you all and enjoy!

Little toes peeping through.

Good looking family, huh?!

my baby brother is going to be a senior

We have this grain truck that is going to be sold in the upcoming auction in Willshire this weekend at Farmer's Grain and Ag. It has been in the family for quite some time, and with BA finishing up his junior year I wanted to get some of his senior pictures with the grain truck. Not to mention the light was perfect last night! It really made the old girl look great for portraits, and if you know our family you know that FORD is the only way.. hehe :D (Well, the guys anyway) Enjoy, and hopefully this beautiful weather will stick around!

rick and kim | ohio portrait photography

Rick and Kim have been family friends for as long as I can remember. My dad and Rick grew up together. They brought along their dog, Pearl, for the shoot who of course I loved- being a dog lover myself.

Also, if you are looking for great gifts for the holidays, Kim makes her own candles! She has scents such as creme brulee', blueberry burst, cinnamon, apple jack & peel, country gift shop, jack frost, vanilla hazelnut, patchouli, bartlet pear, and more. She has roughly 80 scents to choose from and can also get your favorite scent! Who doesn't love a good candle for the holidays? And they sound yummy! If you are interested in her candles contact Kim at Shim Shak Candles (kjb_thatsme@hotmail.com).

wes, stephanie and carver | ohio family photography

Steph scheduled a family session with me which we shot last weekend. We had fantastic weather for the shoot and had a great time. Stephanie is my hair stylist (from Identity) and that is how we became familiar with each other! You guys did such an awesome job! I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks!! 

john, jazmen & xavier | ohio family photography

Jazmen, I know you have been dying to see these-LOL, so I tried to get them up as quickly as possible. :o)

John, Jazmen & little X had a 'quick frames' session scheduled with me which we shot last week. What a great looking family!! Xavier is such a little ham and is always all smiles! I hope you guys had a great time, and I hope you enjoy your images!

See what I mean? ADORABLE!!!

Thanks, guys!!!

morgan | ohio children photography

This little girl is a beauty! I had such a fun time with little Morgan, and her mom Laura on Tuesday morning for their 'quick frames' session. Morgan is such a happy little girl, I think I maybe heard one or two little whimpers the whole time. She was all smiles for the camera! I have had this idea of sitting a little girl in a flower pot with this cute hat that I got at the beauty salon. Morgan fit the role perfect, and she couldn't have did any better. 

Enjoy... :o)

Laura, your daughter was an absolute delight! It was great to meet you both, thank you!

marcia, mark, devon & dogs | ohio family photography

I had the privilege of taking images of a very special family this past weekend. Devon and I have been friends since high school and we used to cheer together. Ever since then these people have been like my second family! I truly cherish their friendship and sincerity. I had such a fun time with you all, and getting all of the dogs to look (at the camera) was quite an interesting challenge =) I love you all and I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks!!!

I had to put this on here! Perscilla obviously wasn't into getting her picture taken, because she sat down on Marcia before we even had a chance to get started-LOL!
